Samsung To Show 31” OLED TV

Seoul, South Korea — Samsung SDI, the display screen manufacturing unit of Samsung Electronics, plans to show a prototype 31-inch ultra-thin OLED screen at International CES, Jan. 7-10 in Las Vegas, according to a Reuters report.

The announcement came as Sony began selling an 11-inch OLED-based TV in Japan.

The Samsung SDI 31-inch OLED screen measures 4.3 mm thick, and consumes less than half the electricity needed for a 32-inch LCD screen, the company said.

The panel’s lifespan was said to be 35,000 hours, which is among the best existing active-matrix OLEDs.
